[78-L] 'Modern' 78s.

[Bill McClung]

I've got Mercury vinyl dj copies and regular 78 issues.  My Dinah
Washington "TV Is the Thing" is a vinyl 78.

I've got several Columbia dj copies on vinyl and seems as if 4 Star did
vinyl 78s as well.

I've got George Benson on Groove vinyl 78 but that would be part of RCA. 
Seems like a couple of my Sam Butera Groove 78s are vinyl as well.

And didn't MGM have their "unbreakable with normal use" 78s which were a
composite of materials?

Because vinyl records were produced in the mid-1940s I'm amazed more 78s
weren't produced in that way.
